CHE-WA HighlightsCHE-WA Meeting RecapThe Washington State Chapter of the national Collaborative on Health and theEnvironment (CHE-WA) held a well-attended meeting on May 26th at Antioch University. The featured speaker was Cindy Sage, coordinator of the national Collaborative onHealth and the Environment working group on electromagnetic fields. Cindy gave anexcellent presentation: The World Health Organization's Just-released Cell Phone Study:Case For Precaution? The presentation handout is now available on and additional information is available from a previous presentation Cindy gavefor a on issues related to The Information Age and EMF/RF Illness.The INTERPHONE study, coordinated by WHO's International Agency for Research onCancer, is a series of studies on cell phone usage and brain tumors in humans. Begun in2000 and conducted in 13 countries (not the US), it was finally released May 18, 2010,and received a range of responses from headlines such as "Heavy mobile users riskcancer" to "No proof of mobile phone cancer link." Cindy helped us sort through themedia hype and understand the science in the study as well as encourage us to answerquestions: What is the right response by our government and our health agencies? Whatshould we do next? What precautions can we take? If you have a cell or cordless phone,a wireless laptop or wireless routers, WI-FI at work/school/office, or the new PDAsincluding BlackBerry, Treo and iPhone units, this is a subject worthy of consideration. The talk was followed by regional environmental health updates covering several specifictopics: 2010 Washington legislative Update: bisphenol-A and beyond from Anna Davis,CHE-WA Children's Environmental Health working group update from Gail Gensler,American Lung Association of Washington from Aileen Gagney, and CHE national's reporton biomonitoring and learning/developmental disabilities from Elise Miller. We ended withannouncements and consideration of topics for the next meeting this fall.New Resource on Chemical Policy ReformCHE has created a new webpage with information on upcoming teleconferences,legislation and analysis; the initial focus will be on the "Safe Chemicals Act of 2010."

Lessons LearnedEnvironmental Justice - or Rather, Injusticeby Steven G. Gilbert, PhD, DABT The EPA defines environmental justice as the "fairtreatment and meaningful involvement of all peopleregardless of race, color, national origin, or income withrespect to the development, implementation, andenforcement of environmental laws, regulations, andpolicies." Image from NIEHS.Many place the start of the environmental justicemovement in 1982 in Warren County, North Carolina. Stateofficals decided that the ShoccoTownship would be theperfect site for a hazardous waste landfill that would receive 30,000 cubic yards ofpolychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contaminated soil. The state, with the permission of theEPA, built the hazardous waste dump only 7 feet above the water table instead of therequried 50 feet. The local residents, mostly rural and poor African Americans, werejoined in protest by national civil rights groups, environmental groups, clergy andmembers of the Congressional Black Caucus. African American civil rights activistBenjamin Chavis described this incident as environmental racism, refering to theenactment or enforcement of any policy, practice, or regulation that negatively affectsthe environment of low-income and/or racially-homogeneous communities at a disparaterate than affluent communities. In 1987, in a defining report, the United Church of ChristCommission for Racial Justice explored the idea of environmental racism in "ToxicWastes and Race in the United States."Environmental injustice and environmental racism are still prevalent in the US andworldwide as one group of people is exploted to benefit another. The just and fairtreatment of all people and the environment is essential for a sustainable world.

Sponsor: Collaborative on Health and the Environment
Over the past decade, nanomaterials have exploded onto the marketplace, ranging in usefrom teddy bears and tennis rackets to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. What do weknow about these materials and how are we addressing them from a public-healthstandpoint? The Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment at the Universityof California, San Francisco, recently released a draft version of their report, "ANanotechnology Policy Framework: Policy Recommendations for Addressing PotentialHealth Risks from Nanomaterials in California," which makes recommendations abouthow to face the new challenges to the policy and risk assessment process thatnanomaterials present because of their unique properties. The document draws uponlessons we can learn from past chemical policy experiences and other recent
nanotechnology reports in making recommendations for California. The final report is dueout the second week of June. Presenters on this call will cover what we know about theunique properties of nanomaterials, why we should be concerned, how nanotechnology isbeing addressed at the policy and public health level, and what the gaps are in ourknowledge. Presenters include Amber Wise, PhD, chemist and postdoctoral fellow in theProgram on Reproductive Health and the Environment at the University of California, SanFrancisco; Jennifer Sass, PhD, senior scientist at Natural Resources Defense Council; andCarl Cranor, PhD, professor of philosophy at the University of California, Riverside.9) National Environmental Justice Advisory Council MeetingTuesday June 15, 20101:00 p.m. Eastern time
